Anthony Wong stars as Wong Chi Hang who has a restaurant serving pork buns which is something that people really seem to like, although it's very uncertain what's actually in them. The police finds some rotten human remains floating up on a beach and starts an investigation which leads them to Wong's restaurant. There they find out that the previous owners disappeared without a trace and also that Wong have no actual proof of ownership for the restaurant. So they connect him with the murders as he might be responsible for them going missing.
Here's another Hong Kong horror flick starring a demented Anthony Wong as a mad butcher and his role is kinda similar to the one he had in Ebola Syndrome, although he's probably a bit more demented in that one.
It's a good HK flick and Anthony Wong is as often quite amusing to watch. It has a lot of gore and some quite gruesome and disturbing scenes, although as said before, not as bad as in Ebola Syndrome.
Problem here is also that you can't help but comparing that movie to The Untold Story as they are quite similar at times and this brings this movie down a notch as it's not half as good as the Ebola. It's still good though and is a very entertaining Cat III movie to watch. It also features a lot of really dark, sick and twisted humour to lighten things up a bit which works quite well.
If you're in the mood for chinese after watching this then there's something wrong with you for sure. Recommended for gorehounds with a sense of humour.
